In his latest post, Walter Russell Mead expresses partial agreement with Paul Krugman that America's elites are out-of-touch. As always, I take Mead's side as he catalogs the moral and intellectual rot at the heart of our elite establishment.
Mead writes,
"American elites are genuinely and sincerely convinced that the American masses don’t understand the world, don’t realize that American exceptionalism is a mental disease, want infinite government benefits while paying zero tax, and cling to their Bibles and their guns despite all the peer reviewed social science literature that demonstrates the danger and the worthlessness of both."
It's a long piece, as usual, but it marks another important essay in the case Professor Mead is making for Rebuilding from the Bottom Up.
